Can you explain the idea that 'death for saints is just like' an eclipse, as mentioned in the text?

📖 Chapter 43

This is a profound analogy from Chapter 43 used to explain the nature of a saint's perceived death. When we see a solar eclipse, the sun doesn't actually vanish; our vision of it is temporarily obscured, which the text calls a 'defect of vision.' Similarly, when a great saint like Sai Baba leaves their physical body, their true essence, likened to the ever-present sun, does not cease to exist. Our perception of their 'death' is a limitation of our own understanding. The saint merely transitions from a manifest form to an unmanifest state, continuing to exist and influence the world, just as the sun continues to shine even when eclipsed.
